A collection of woodcuts by a Japanese ukiyo-e artist are brought from a museum in America to Japan where they are faithfully printed by skilled craftsmen.
Hmmm... A 1987 film about Japanese art... What do you think I will say? It's WONDERFUL! It shows the actual printing of the woodcuts, which is very interesting and the images themselves are my newest obsession, making them the coolest thing since the invention of the wheel. The narration does get a little dry at times and the video quality was a little blurry/grainy on youtube. Small technical issues aside, I rate it good. Watch this if you like art or are interested in traditional Japanese culture.
